Description
Daniel Hillard is no ordinary father, so when he learns his ex-wife needs a housekeeper, he applies for the job. With the perfect wig, a little makeup and a dress for all occasions, he becomes Mrs. Doubtfire, a devoted British housekeeper who is hired on the spot. Free to be the "woman" he never knew he could be, the disguised Daniel creates a whole new life with his entire family.

A perhaps surprisingly good film that mostly avoids being too hamfisted with its lessons and morals, and only really falls a bit apart in the (purposefully) farce-esque finale at the restaurant, which could probably have been handled with a bit more of the pseudo-realism the movie otherwise

successfully strives for without losing too much of the raised stakes and comedy. Feel-good, funny, charming and only a bit cheesy (which is very impressive considering the ridiculous premise). And Williams is, as ever, amazing. Show Less

A divorced man disguises himself as his children's nanny.
1/4 (Bad).
I gave up after an hour, out of boredom. Is this psychotic character supposed to be a protagonist?
